Teri from Indiana is on the look out for this striped fabric!
((the one in the center, used in the sashing))
Do you have it? Do you know someone who has it? Can you ask your quilty friends about it? Send them the link to this post so they can look please, we need to find it for her!
She is hoping to find at least 1/2 yard of it. If you DO have it..she is willing to beg, barter or
She writes:
It is a stripe and I no longer have
the selvage.
The colors in the stripe are red/orange/aqua/white/yellow.
I believe it is manufactured by P&B or Michael Miller, but I can't be certain.
Please contact her via email at tjfritch@mchsi.com if you have it, she might not see your comment if you reply in the comments section of this blog post.
((I will forward comments to her that do show up in my inbox via the comments section))
Ready? Set? SEARCH!
Looked through my brights...no luck yet. I sure hope she finds it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's not looking familiar to me, but I sure will check with quilty friends. Just a thought....Does the piece in the picture happen to have the selvedge in tack, providing further info??
ReplyDeleteI found this info by accident a little while ago and was able to locate a hard to find fabric. Send an email to the email address below, with a picture and as much information you can about the maker of the fabric, it goes out to quilt ships nationwide and they will email you if they have it...it is worth a shot!!

We looked for Teri's fabric at Erica's in South Bend on our way to Chicago. No luck. I emailed Teri to let her know.

ReplyDeletetry this website. you can upload a picture and it will search using image recognition.
She could also try:
ReplyDeletehttp://missingfabrics.com/ (emailing this directly too)
Something that I do that might work for others in the future (just as an FYI).
ReplyDeleteI cut my selvages off at 1.5 inches (sometimes at 1 inch, depending on how much I absolutely NEED of the fabric). I then store the selvages, and if I ever need to find an extra 'hunk' of fabric, I can quickly refer to my selvages.
Someday, I may make a selvage quilt, but for now, I just collect and bag the selvages. :D

You can even upload a digital picture of the fabric!
Good luck

I inherited a stash of fabric when my mother-in-law died at the age of 101. No one else wanted it, so I got it. She had pieced a Grandmother's flower garden quilt with her mother years ago. I thought I would try this for my first quilt. Ignorance is bliss! I have no purchased material, and I don't believe there are any solid colors. I decided I would use a white on white print Z(leaning towards, and looking for polka dot) for the paths around each flower. According to my calculations I will need 86 flowers. I have 30 done. I purchased a hex punch and purchased fkexible cutting board sheets from the dollar store for my pieces. They seem to come out easily once the flower is done, I leave the plastic pieces in the flower until the hexies are sewn to something. So far it's been an intermittent project over 3 years. Planning on how to finish it now. I will let you know what I decide to do and promise pictures once I am done!
